The valid SSI directives are as follows:
echo
Syntax:
echo var="environment-variable"
Echo inserts the value of one or more SSI
environment variables.
include
Syntax: include file|virtual="path"
The include directive inserts the text of
another document, specified either as a file or a virtual file. Path must be relative to
the current document in the case of a file, or it can be a virtual path. For example:
<!--#include
file="sample.html"-->
<!--#include virtual="/virtual/sample.html"-->
fsize
Syntax:
fsize file="path"
The fsize directive inserts the size of the file
specified by path, in bytes. For example:
This file is <!--#fsize
file="example.ps"--> bytes.
flastmod
Syntax: flastmod
file="path"
Similar to fsize, flastmod inserts the
modification date for the file specified by path. For example:
This file was last modified on <!--#flastmod
file="example.html"-->.
config
Syntax:
config errmsg|sizefmt|timefmt="string"
You can use the config directive to modify the
default SSI behavior. The parameters are as follows:
errmsg: Sets the
default error message. For example:
<!--#config errmsg="Error: Try
again."-->
sizefmt: Sets the
format for file size data returned by the fsize directive. The string for this parameter
is either "bytes" for file sizes in bytes, or "abbrev" for file sizes
rounded to the nearest kilobyte. For example:
<!--#config sizefmt="abbrev"-->
timefmt: Sets the
format for dates and times returned by the flastmod directive and the DATE_LOCAL and
DATE_GMT variables.
The possible values for this parameter are as
follows:
| Format

Description |
| %a |
Abbreviated day of the week,
such as "Sun" for Sunday |
| %A |

rules in a sequence if the current rule matches |
| S=n |
Same as "skip" |

Sets the environment variable VARIABLE
to the value VALUE |
| E=VARIABLE:VALUE |
Same as "env" |
Our server implements Extended SSI, which
includes flow control elements much like the ones used in
programming languages. With flow control, you can create more sophisticated SSI scripts.
There are four flow control elements:
<!--#if expr="test-condition"-->
<!--#elif expr="test-condition"-->
<!--#else-->
<!--#endif-->
The test-condition is one of the following:
| Test
Condition |
Description |
| string |
True if the string is not
empty |
| sring1=string2 |
True if string1
matches string2 |
| string1!=string2
|
True if string1 does
not match string2 |
| (test-condition) |
True if test-condition is true |
| !test-condition |
True if test-condition is
false |
| test-condition1
&& test-condition2 |
True if both test-condition1
and test-condition2 are true |
| test-condition1 || test-condition2 |
True if either
test-condition1 or test-condition2 is true |
DOCUMENT_NAME
The filename of the current HTML document. For
example:
This file is called <!--#echo
var="DOCUMENT_NAME"-->.
DOCUMENT_URL
The URL of the current file. For example:
This document is located at <!--#echo
var="DOCUMENT_URL"-->.
QUERY_STRING_UNESCAPED
An unencoded query string whose metacharacters
are escaped with a backslash (\).
DATE_LOCAL
The local date and time. For example:
Here in San Diego, it is now <!--#echo
var="DATE_LOCAL"-->.
DATE_GMT
The current Greenwich Mean Time. For example:
The current time is <!--#echo
var="DATE_GMT"--> GMT.
LAST_MODIFIED
The date and time when the current file was last
modified. For example:
I last modified this page on <!--#echo
var="LAST_MODIFIED"-->.
